Parvo is a highly contagious virus that affects puppies, but with aggressive treatment that usually includes hospitalization and supportive care, many puppies can recover. You may start to see signs of improvement such as increased energy and appetite within a few days to a week. It's important to keep in close contact with your vet throughout this period, as every puppy responds differently to treatment.
